Damian Lillard files for divorce
Former Portland Trail Blazers star Damian Lillard has filed for divorce from his wife, Kay’La Lillard. Lillard filed the divorce papers on Oct. 2 in Clackamas County Circuit Court. The filing comes just days after Lillard was traded to the Milwaukee Bucks in a blockbuster deal. Sophie Peel of Willamette Week first reported the filing. The couple, who were college sweethearts at Weber State University, were married on Sept. 21, 2021, in Santa Barbara, California. They have three children together, Damian Jr. age 5, along with twins Kalii and Kali, age 2.

Damian Lillard sees a similarity between Chauncy Billups & new #Bucks HC Adrian Griffin:
“They say what they mean & they mean what they say…you see them connecting with each guy, how do you feel, what do you think? That makes everybody comfortable.”

Giannis Antetokounmpo and Damian Lillard did not practice today to give them a breather.
Lillard: “Yeah, it was just a rest day.”
He said knowing he’d be traded he didn’t get the same time of up-and-down work in. He added that he’s “trying to just listen” to others. – 2:29 PM

More on this storyline
For Lillard, he wants to play in every preseason game, but that probably isn’t realistic. Even a probable invitation to the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris isn’t necessarily top of mind, either. He’s got a gold medal from the last Games in Tokyo, but his goals are more immediate — preparing for a very long year and having time with his three kids in the offseason. “I would definitely be interested. I don’t know if I can say right now to do something that I would absolutely do,” Lillard said. -via Yahoo! Sports / October 5, 2023
“I’ve had the experience and it’s just you know, it’s a very time-consuming thing. “I’m tight with all my family members. So it’s just how I would feel or even if they invite me to be on a team, so definitely interested, but it’s not something that I’m for sure about right now.” -via Yahoo! Sports / October 5, 2023
Clutch Points: “I don’t want [Giannis] to not be himself… Don’t worry about me… I said that to him and he said the same thing to me. ‘Don’t worry about me, just do what you do. Be Dame.’” Damian Lillard on adapting to playing with Giannis Antetokounmpo (via @Bucks) pic.twitter.com/6T9CvQbmUV -via Twitter @ClutchPointsApp / October 5, 2023
